That Resharp sharpening machine looks pretty nice. And it reminded me…
About 10 years ago here on The Dope there was a discussion about knives and/or sharpening them and someone here — don’t recall who — recommended a Chef’sChoice machine. I’ve had it ever since and it does a decently nice job. Between that machine and a good diamond sharpening stone, plus an old fashioned pocket sharpening whetstone that I’ve had for decades, they meet my sharpening needs.
Here is the diamond sharpening stone I have, the 8” one ➜
And I actually found the old Dope thread. That was pretty easy. It was 11 years ago, and it was @Amateur_Barbarian (formerly @NitroPress) who pointed me to it. He hasn’t posted here in 5 years. Later in the thread, @beowulff and @GaryM seconded the recommendation, and that was enough for me to buy it. It was an old thread started by @Johnny_L.A , who is still active here, as are @beowulf and @GaryM.
@Amateur_Barbarian provided a link for it. ➜
It’s the Chef’sChoice 130 Professional Electric Knife Sharpening Station, and it has served me well in the last 11 years.
